I really like bicycling, I think it is good for me, it was a good summer (well the summer weather continues although it is September), in some days I rode over 30 kilometers a day, sometimes I see people whom I know, but if somebody needs a hobby, I recommend bicycling.
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve ridden my bike, no wonder I’ve put on a few pounds.
My city has grown into a very large and dangerous place tio drive- let alone ride a bike in traffic.
Still want to go for a ride though…
I used to like biking a lot. I mostly use it as a mode of transportation now but I wish I could do it more as a hobby.
my butt hurt, my hands hurt, my neck hurt, and my legs hurt. lol. went to Minnesota last October and rode about 100 miles or so with my parents. I was complaining about things. I remember telling them my bicycling days were over but I think now that I’ve lost some weight im ready to ride again.
Bicycling is also a method of transportation to different places for me, because I do not own a car, gladly I am living in a small city and the distances are not too far and we have the great bicycle paths that are also maintained in the winter, I ride my bike also during winters (as long as the bicycle paths are not too icy, I could get winter tires).
Nordic and European countries seem to have most bicycles per capita

I somehow thought that China would have most, but I was wrong.
Amsterdam has plenty of bicycles too.
I used to have a car and I sold it to just ride a bicycle, walk and take the bus. I’ve saved so much money from not having to deal with insurance, gas, repairs and impulsive shopping and drive-thrus. I haven’t really missed driving. There’s so many benefits from cycling. They did studies that showed it slowed or prevented alzhiemers or something like that. I can’t say enough how much I love cycling.
I’m getting better. Need a better road bike but have been doing 10km’s a day on this old mountain bike. It’s not set up properly for myself as I’m tall but it gets me out there!
